What is Question2Answer?

Question2Answer (Q2A) is a free, open-source platform for building question-and-answer sites, written in PHP and backed by MySQL. Visitors post questions, answer them, comment and vote, and earn reputation points. It is developed on GitHub under the q2a organisation and is used for support forums, knowledge bases and community help sites.

How to install Question2Answer on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Question2Answer is live

Project status: The latest release is 1.8.8 (25 July 2023) and the most recent commit visible on the official GitHub repository dates from 26 July 2023, so there has been no release for over three years at the time of research (September 2026). It may still run, but expect no new fixes from upstream. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: GPL-3.0 · Built with: PHP + MySQL · Official site: www.question2answer.org

Common uses

  • Customer support and help community
  • Internal knowledge base for a team
  • Topic-focused Q&A site or forum alternative
  • Community expert-answers site

Question2Answer requirements

  • PHP: PHP with the MySQLi extension; the install docs quote an old PHP 5.x minimum, and release notes for 1.8.7 and 1.8.8 mention PHP 8.x compatibility fixes
  • Database: MySQL (install docs list 4.1 or later, 5.x recommended)
  • MySQLi PHP extension
  • Apache or Nginx web server

Question2Answer is a standard PHP/MySQL application and needs only the MySQLi extension, so it fits ordinary shared hosting. Its upstream releases have paused since 2023, so review security and plugin compatibility before running it publicly.

Why host Question2Answer with Hostripples

  • One-click Question2Answer install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
  • All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
  • Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
  • Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
  • Free migration of an existing Question2Answer site, and 24×7 support in English, Hindi and Marathi

Question2Answer Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

It needs a web server such as Apache or Nginx, PHP with the MySQLi extension and a MySQL database. The official docs quote very old minimum versions, so pick a currently supported PHP version that your hosting offers and test it.
Yes, its requirements are limited to PHP and MySQL, which standard cPanel shared plans provide. There is no daemon or special server access requirement in the official install documentation.
Log in to cPanel, open Softaculous, choose Question2Answer and complete the short form. The Softaculous one-click installer creates the database and files for you, usually in a few clicks and without manually uploading anything by FTP.
The latest official release is 1.8.8 from July 2023, and the repository shows no later commits at the time of our check. It remains usable, but you should keep plugins minimal and monitor for security advice yourself.
Yes. Question2Answer is open-source software released under the GPL-3.0 licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Question2Answer alongside other apps in its category (Others), such as Seo Panel and SLiMS, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.
Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.
